[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

If Scarlett was not educated enough and did not have enough information to understand what Margot was thinking, then Frank Kennedy was not thinking enough to understand Margot deeply.

To put it more succinctly, Frank Kennedy took a rather negative attitude towards Margot's grand plan.

Frank Kennedy is a typical southerner. Maybe he will protect his wife according to the southern tradition, but Frank still cares about the authority of the head of the house and the husband.Frank had doubts about Margot's plan, but he could not speak to others because he swore an oath at Clark's house, while Suellen was a die-hard follower of Margot, who had unconditionally trusted and obeyed for many years , followed unconditionally.

Before anyone knew it, a rift opened up between Frank and Suellen.

However, at this moment, no one noticed, not even Margo.

Once the Christmas break was over, Marge and Suellen went to the hospital to continue their busy hospital life.As for Frank Kennedy, it was impossible for him to stay in Atlanta for a long time if he wanted to help the South collect supplies, and Ashley Wilkes also returned to the army after sending a long letter to his father.

Scarlett had been to Clark's house, but unfortunately, George was only polite to the sister-in-law.As for Gerald and Ellen, out of patriotism and love for their eldest daughter, they coincidentally concealed the content of the conversation that day.

Scarlett returned without success, which made her even more irritable.

And this irritability intensified as the situation changed.

Even Scarlett, who put all her body and mind on Ashley, felt that the situation in Atlanta was getting worse and there were more and more wounded, but there were only a handful of medicines in Atlanta, and the work that the ladies had to undertake was too much. more and more.Even Scarlett has to wash a lot of bandages and gauze every day.

Even if there are maids in every household, the hostesses have to do it themselves, because there are so many things that the maids are simply too busy.

Food is also getting less and less, and the rations that were originally distributed according to needs are starting to get stuck.

At the same time, the list of casualties on the telegram is getting longer and longer. Almost every family wears a black veil, and every family loses a relative every week.

In the past, young men who were barefoot and still able to talk and laugh became the cold names on the list, and many of them couldn't even find their bodies, let alone return to their hometown cemeteries.

These lads buried in foreign lands include the friends and friends of the O'Hara sisters from childhood, that is, those lads in Clayton County.

Margot and Suellen are in the hospital, racing against death, while on the other side of the city, Karin passes out on the spot after learning of Brent's death.

The Tarleton twins, both dead.

News of Ashley's disappearance also reached Atlanta.

Then, the old people were also drawn into the battle, including Henry, the old lawyer of the Hamilton family, Gerald, the father of the O'Hara sisters, and John Wilkes, the father of Ashley Wilkes.

Forget about old Henry, but Gerald and old John were riding horses in the gray uniforms they had prepared for a long time, ready to go out brightly.

Marge, who came back to see her father off after receiving the news, was extremely furious. She commanded the servants of the Clark family and the Kennedy family to arrest the two manor owners, and forcibly stripped off each other's clothes. into the fireplace.

Scarlett was dumbfounded, and immediately yelled: "Margo!"

"Shut up! If you want to die on the first day of the battle, go ahead! Dress so well and ride a horse, isn't it a ready-made target on the battlefield?! You think, the Yankees treat us all Don’t you know? No matter how stupid the Yankee gunners are, after so many wars, they have been trained even with the lives of the southerners! I guarantee that the gunners in the Atlanta offensive and defensive battle will definitely point to where to hit! The error is absolutely inaccurate Will be over a foot!"

This moment.No one would think that Margot and Scarlett are not twin sisters.

the same face,

same look,

and equally deterrent.

At the Hamiltons, no one dared to touch Scarlett's whiskers.

Likewise, everyone here today dare not oppose Margot at this time.

Gerald muttered, "Your mother made me this dress herself."

"I made it before the Twelve Oaks banquet." Margot said coldly, "War is a man's romance. Mom knows it, and I know it too. So mom prepared a gray uniform for you, and I don't object to you going to the battlefield. But, I I hate sacrifices in vain. Tell me, knowing that you will become a target on the battlefield, will I remain silent?" As she spoke, Margo turned to John Wilkes and said, "You too, Wilkes Sir. I will not see you die in vain. There is still hope in the South. Even if we lose this war, we still have another war to fight. Your battle is not this time, but in the future. We need you , the south needs you. Your prestige will be our biggest backing on the next battlefield."

John Wilkes looked at Margot lovingly: "Honey, I'm old. What the South needs is not me, but you, Marg. The South needs you. You have long surpassed me in importance."

The whereabouts of his son is unknown, and his grandson still doesn't know where he is. John Wilkes put on the gray uniform with the feeling of being buried in the south.

"However, there are some things that I cannot accomplish alone. I need you, and the south also needs you."

Margot stared at old John, while George stood beside his wife, expressing his attitude.

John Wilkes had to back down:

"Well, well, if you insist. The younger generation in the South has grown up, and I should be old. No, I shouldn't be old. I want to see the future of the South."
